BOTL UPCOMING MAINTENANCE
Hi Everyone, as mentioned in my introduction post, BOTL needs quite a bit of updating, patching and whatever else I might come across. Over the next few weekends BOTL may be unreachable on occasion as I do migrations or updates, etc. Just be patient - we'll be back! I'll generally try to keep these maintenances until later in the evenings.

I'll wait to see what the allegations turn out to be before I make a judgment on this. So far, what they are saying is that he wasn't in the wild on 2 nights because there were health and safety concerns because of unnatural circumstances. From what you see on the show, he braved some ridiculous circumstances, so it would be interesting to hear what those circumstances are. You oftentimes see him turning on the camera at night, so it is not like that would be a common practice.
I have seen most if not all of his shows.
Drinking pee is something that I would never have thought of.
From his bio, it appears he knows his stuff and what he does on the show looks ok too.
He should be on Survivor Island and teach them a thing or two.

These are pretty interesting, it lists the "fakes" in the show.

Faked it????? That has got to be the weakest sh!t I've ever heard. It's obvious he has a camera crew, but I figured the reputation of a special forces member that he would at least do the stuff himself. Does anyone know if Survivormanis real?

Bear Grylls, presenter of 'Born Surivor' has been engulfed in further claims of having faked scenes in an episode of the hit TV show.
In an episode that is yet to be broadcast Grylls had to escape an active volcano in the Pacific by leaping across molten lava and avoiding clouds of 'killer' gas.
However, the episode of Born Survivor set on Mount Kilauea volcano in Hawaii has been unmasked as a fake.
In the latest episode of TV series, yet to be broadcast on Channel 4, he is filmed amid billowing clouds of white gas seeping from the crust of the lava field.
"Look at this, you can actually see the sulphur dioxide seeping out of these vents," he says. "In high concentrations this gas is a killer."
Sulphur dioxide certainly is poisonous, but the smoke seen in the show had been faked by the production crew, the Sunday Times reported.
"Sulphur dioxide fumes are colourless and you can't see it, so smoke generators were used off-screen to make the existing fumes seem visible," said a safety adviser.
According to insiders, the red glow of the molten magma which he warned could incinerate him 'in seconds' was supplemented by burning hot coals brought in by members of the production team.
Last month it was revealed that Grylls stayed in hotels when he claimed to be 'a real life Robinson Crusoe' on a desert island and that the raft he used had actually been built by experts.
A Discovery Channel insider told the Sunday Times that the fakery was 'unacceptable' and had been identified in an internal investigation.
